About 1,448 years ago, our noble Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) migrated from Makkah to Madinah.
Centuries have passed, but the lessons and spiritual significance of this Hijrah still define Islam.
Each year it reminds us to shun hostility, embrace one another, and trust that with every hardship comes ease, and that a new beginning is always possible.
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our noble Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and his companions. Ameen.
The Government assures the Polytechnic community and the general public that measures have been put in place to ensure the uninterrupted administration of the institution.
